I am learning visual studio for tester, I am having one query

Please clear my point

Scenario I want to test

Objective =Load testing of hotmail

Steps to execute this scenario

Open the hotmail page

Enter the user name and password

Click on new link

Enter the email in “To” field say test@test.com

Click on send button

Application submit the mail and Sign-out from hotmail

Record the above scenario in Visual studio test editions

Vs Test editions record and play the above scenario with out any error

Problem

But it doesn’t send mail in testing environment or in Visual studio browser or when I play this record web test

Issue

What is reason of this, if Visual studio for tester is not supporting these kinds of things, how we can test application in real environment

Suppose we provide the 100 of user email and password with the help of data binding at login page, but application is not sending mail what is the benefit of this tool

I am very confuse, please tell me solutions

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am running a load test using a rig that includes the following:

3 agent

3 server application (that are under load balancer\alteon)

1 machine VSTS 2008 (and where my code is)

I am running a load test that includes fetching images from an outside machine.

as you know this images are gathered by sending following requests (requests that i didn't write a code for it ) to a server and fetching it.

The problem is that certain images that are sent are causing my tests to fail.

Is there any way that i can exclude some of the requests that are send (images) by invoking an event handler??

Thanks,

Daniel
